Each year, more than 350,000 people worldwide are diagnosed with pancreatic cancer—one of the deadliest cancers—with the majority of cases diagnosed in late stage. Despite advances in therapy over the past two decades that have led to doubled five-year survival rates, pancreatic cancer five-year survival is still only in the single digits—8%—due to the complex nature of the disease and lack of symptoms until the disease has progressed.
